The demonstrators marched from London's Parliament Square towards the Indian High Commission in show of their solidarity with the people of IOK, which has been on lockdown for a month now.
Participants assembled outside the diplomatic mission called for New Delhi to lift the curfew and end human rights violations in the Himalayan valley.
Footage of the march went viral on social media with #KashmirFreedomMovement trending on Twitter as users shared videos and photos of the massive turn out in support of Kashmiris.
